Experience SAP Podcast: What is the secret to success for projects on SAP BTP?

Mar. 2, 2023

The sovanta project approach has always been a little different. On the one hand, we follow the human-centered design approach, i.e. we look for solutions that focus on the end user and really help in the daily business. On the other hand, we’ve been working in agile teams for a long time. We always try to visual solutions in a very early stage, test it with users and adapt the solution accordingly – that saves our customers time and money. But our project approach only unfolds its full power in the cloud. No more waiting for the next release: Our interdisciplinary teams manage projects on SAP BTP from day one in close coordination with customers and end users.

We have always worked according to the “fail early” principle: we deliver solutions quickly, even in early project phases, and test them with end users before we develop something elaborate that misses the mark.
